THE U. S. S. SHENANDOAH During the recent transcontinental trip of the Shenandoah, the Naval radio operators aboard the ship were in constant communication through their short wave transmission with radio amateurs in all parts of the country, as well as with the Naval Laboratory at Belleview, near Washington.

U., said upon leaving, that they believed international friendships by radio would be a factor in bringing world peace.
